Thinking the Twentieth Century by Tony Judt

5.0

”The space between cultural conversation and rhetorical murder is a very thin one.”

”It is one thing to say that I am willing to suffer now for an unknowable but possibly better future. It is quite another to authorize the suffering of others in the name of that same unverifiable hypothesis. That...is the intellectual sin of the century: passing judgement on the fate of others in the name of their future as you see it, a future in which you may have no investment, but concerning which you claim exclusive and perfect information.”
